Maternal labor supply among fully biological, fully adoptive, and mixed biological/adoptive mothers
Confident Commitment: Financial Self-Efficacy’s Indirect Association with Romantic Relationship Flourishing Through Financial Behaviors
Family leisure and negative links between family of origin adversity and marital satisfaction
Securely Ever After: Attachment, Trust, and Commitment in Married U.S. Adult Adoptees
Access to Head Start and Maternal Labor Supply: Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Evidence
We explore how access to Head Start impacts maternal labor supply. By relaxing child care constraints, public preschool options like Head Start might lead mothers to reallocate time between employment, child care, and other activities. Using the 1990s enrollment and funding expansions and the 2002 Head Start Impact Study randomized control trial, we show that Head Start increases short-run employment and wage earnings of single mothers. The incre…
Relational communication as a moderator for links between family of origin adversity and marital satisfaction
Activities and social contact as antecedents to sleep onset time in U.S. adolescents
This study evaluated adolescents' evening patterns in activities, social contact, and location to better understand antecedents to adolescents' sleep onset time (SOT). The SOT is important for sleep duration and related health outcomes. Using a nationally representative sample of 15- to 18-year-old adolescents from the American Time Use Survey (N = 10,341; 47% female; 57% white), structural equation modeling demonstrated that late SOTs mediated l…
Parenting Practices during Childhood and Later Adolescent Sexual Outcomes
The Developmental Course of Parental Time Investments in Children from Infancy to Late Adolescence
This study evaluated parent-child time from a child's infancy to age 18 for mothers and fathers. Parent-child time remains a key input in child development. The theory on intergenerational transfers from parents to children posits that mother-child time and father-child time may adjust as children grow. This study used the nationally representative American Time Use Survey (2003-2019; N = 148,576) to study children ages 0-18 in a pooled cross-sec…
Mindfulness and individual, relational, and parental outcomes during the transition to parenthood
With more than one million couples transitioning to parenthood each year, finding ways to enable healthier transitions is salient. Trait mindful awareness and sexual mindfulness were examined in an Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) framework using 169 mixed-sex, married couples to evaluate their association with individual, relational, and parental outcomes. For couples who have transitioned to parenthood, mothers' trait mindfulness was …
Social Contact and Family Contact for Youth with Disabilities
Youth with disabilities may experience unequal patterns of social contact, compared to youth without disabilities. This study uses a nationally representative sample of youth (ages 15-19; N = 6,803) from the American Time Use Survey (2008-2019) to evaluate if and how social contact-defined as time spent with relatives and nonrelatives-differs by youth disability status. Outside the family context, youth with disabilities spent less time with nonr…
Familism among Latino/a adolescents: Evidence from time‐use data
Objective This study examined differences in time with family among Latino/a, White, and Black youth and variation among Latino/a youth by gender and immigrant household status. Background Familismo and differences in socio‐structural characteristics suggest that Latino/a youth will spend more time with family than White and Black peers. Gender socialization norms, especially marianismo , could also promote family time for Latina girls. Finally, …
Child Citizenship Status in Immigrant Families and Differential Parental Time Investments in Siblings
This study describes how parental time investments in children in immigrant families vary according to children’s citizenship status. In families with multiple children, parents make allocation decisions about how to invest in each child. In immigrant households, a child’s citizenship status may shape parental time allocations because of how this status relates to a child’s prospects for socioeconomic mobility. It is unclear whether parents reinf…

Parent-Child Leisure and Parent Affect: The Role of Family Structure
This study evaluates differences in parent-child leisure and parent affect across single- and two-parent families. The Ecology of Family Experiences framework suggests contextual factors such as family structure and the novelty of the activity environment contribute to heterogeneity in how parents experience leisure, partly because constraints may differ across family structures. Using a large, nationally representative data sample of parents fro…
The Protective Role of Couple Communication in Moderating Negative Associations Between Financial Stress and Sexual Outcomes for Newlyweds
Social contact, time alone, and parental subjective well-being: A focus on stay-at-home fathers using the American Time Use Survey
Stay-at-home fathers (SAHFs) face negative stereotypes and social stigma, which may be linked to negative feelings during social contact. In this study, we compare SAHFs' social contact and time alone to that of stay-at-home mothers and parents of other work/caregiving statuses. In addition, we analyze SAHFs' subjective well-being when with their children, spouse, noon spouse adults, and when alone to more accurately capture the positive and nega…
The effects of premarital education promotion policies on U.S. divorce rates
Currently, 10 states have enacted policies to promote premarital education and counseling. However, no research has documented whether these policies have actually decreased divorce rates in implementing states. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of premarital education promotion policies on divorce rates. First, we conducted an implementation study to understand how well each state implemented the policy. A combination of methods…
